Rank #9 in Best Digital Multimeter 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Number That Doesn't Measure Anything
Crenova 606C+ 600A Clamp Meter Multimeter
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Crenova 606C+ is the clamp meter in this guide: a 6000-count true RMS instrument that reads current through a 25mm jaw instead of through leads, priced at £29.99 and sitting at number nine. It covers AC/DC current up to 600A, AC/DC voltage up to 600V, resistance to 60MΩ, capacitance to 6mF and frequency to 10MHz, with NCV detection listed at 48–250V.
Its headline numbers mostly hold together, which is worth saying out loud in a category where they often do not. The 600A in the title matches the 600A in the first bullet, the 6000 counts in the name matches the 6000-count LCD further down the listing, and the 1832°F upper temperature rating in the specification table matches the -4°F to 1832°F range quoted for the supplied K-type probe. What does not hold together is the rating count: the listing reads 405 ratings at 4.4 out of 5, while the star chart printed beneath it totals 100 votes. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I wanted aDC capable (Hall effect) clamp ammeter to check on my solar panels and battery. This was the cheapest. I'm very pleased with the package which seems to work well, and comes with probes, thermocouple, and a nice case. The manual is clear and well written.”
Verified purchase“Seems to be ok, the only thing I'd say is one of the popular functions ( continuity with the beep) function needs another button pressing a few times to select it.All in all its a decent tester”

Questions people ask
Does the Crenova 606C+ measure AC and DC current?
Yes. The listing states AC/DC current up to 600A, and notes the clamp jaw is designed solely for current measurement, with everything else measured through the supplied leads.
What is included with the Crenova 606C+?
The listing gives clamp meter, probe test leads, alligator clip leads, K-type thermocouple, 2×AAA batteries, carrying pouch and manual.
How many ratings does the Crenova 606C+ have?
The listing shows a 4.4 out of 5 average from 405 ratings, while the star chart on the same page totals 100 votes. Those two numbers do not match each other.
Can the Crenova 606C+ measure temperature?
Yes, from -4°F to 1832°F using the supplied K-type probe; the specification table lists the same 1832°F as the upper temperature rating.
What size cables will the jaw take?
The clamp jaw is listed as 25mm, which the listing says suits most circuit measurements in home or industrial use.
What safety standard is the Crenova 606C+ built to?
The listing states it conforms to IEC 61010, CAT III 600V, with double insulation.
